San Marcos is BEAUTIFUL!! In stark contrast to San Pedro, San Marcos is covered in vegetation. Trees and foliage line all of the cobblestone paths (not roads . . . the gringo part of town is all walking paths, not even room for a tuk-tuk). Connecting the two main paths are dirt trails that navigate around whatever structures are in the way.
Las Piramides (http://www.laspiramidesdelka.com/) is in the middle the gringo village, surrounded by holistic healing centres, hotels and hostels. San Marcos is a healing mecca, with a bit of a new age flavour, but so far, it´s not too woo-woo.
I didn´t make a reservation for a place to stay here, and it turned out to be a more popular destination for new years than I expected. I managed, however, to get the last dorm bed in a place called La Paz, which another traveler had recommended highly. I really like it. The owner is Guatemalan, and definitely a character; dinner is served family style and there are folks hanging around chatting and being. It´s very friendly, and the gardens are STUNNING!!
I think I like San Marcos a lot.
